I’m not quite sure what it is about the month of January that makes it feel like the longest month of the year. Maybe it’s because of ongoing daylight savings time, or because many of us (myself included) are still actively celebrating the holidays in the days/weeks following the ringing in of the New Year- […]
With Christmas pretty much over and done with for this year (I still have some presents left to deliver in the coming days!) I’ve been spending most of my time looking back on 2021 while simultaneously planning and preparing for the New Year ahead. It’s hard to believe that 2022 is only just a couple […]
I want to preface this post by saying I love Salem, Massachusetts. I love it! It’s truly one of my favorite places in New England.

Hello from Swarthmore, Pennsylvania! I’m on day two of three of a mini-vacation/road trip I embarked on yesterday morning to meet up with longtime friends and see one of my favorite bands perform at the first music festival I’ve been able to attend since 2019 and long before the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
